In-game description

“

Micro-missile technology has allowed us to miniaturize a rocket launcher and mount it on our heavy armor systems. It has limited ammo but excellent range and explosive force.

”

Tactical information

“	The Rocket Launcher requires both actions to fire, and can only be used once per mission. The Rocket Launcher's new form can be wielded by anyone, provided they deploy with heavy armor.	”
